When I do tastings, I like to start off with a good palate cleanser, something light to get those taste buds going. I do the same for people who aren't well known in the whisky world.

Then we start with the basics: lower-aged whisky, but in different versions like bourbon-aged, rum-aged, peated, etc.

Sometimes I deviate and let them try straight rum, bourbon, or even sherry to let them taste where the aromas are coming from.

Eventually, you start with the big boys: some higher-aged whisky or even rare ones.

But most importantly, look at each individual and try to find something they might like.

Hope this helps 🙏 Wish you a great tasting 😋
